Chapter 193

I headed to the place where Chief Totara and Guide Totara were with Raccoon grandpa.

Neither of them showed much alertness in our approach.

It seemed we have gained quite a bit of trust thanks to the help in the battle with Venom spiders.

“Wait a minute! Stop that weird cure.”

Wukiii?

“You can’t treat your poisoned comrades with such an ignorant method.”

I explained that it was useless to put a lot of herbs in their mouth.

At first, the two didn’t understand what I meant, but when I explained it repeatedly, they began to understand it little by little.

“If you give us the herbs, we’ll make you an antidote. I’m sure it’ll be much more efficient than your way of putting everything into their mouths.”

The two Totaras reacted differently to our offer of making an antidote for them.

Chief Totara was skeptical of the proposal, but Guide Totara responded positively.

Before I could say anything, Guide Totara came forward and persuaded Chief Totara.

– Wukukiii! Wukiii! Wuki!

– Wukiii… – Wuki…

Chief Totara’s opinion started to change with the active persuasion of Guide Totara.

In the end, Chief Totara decided on accepting my offer.

– Wukii! Wukii!

Guide Totara immediately took us to the place where the herbs were piled up.

When we entered the place, we could see the herbs that were piled up to almost our eye level.

“That’s a lot.”

“Of course, they’ve swept away all the herbs in this vast forest…”

“What should we do now, grandpa?”

“I’ll tell you the herbs we need for the antidote. Collect as many of them as you can.”

Raccoon grandpa told me about the herbs that were used as ingredients for the antidote.

I started looking for the herbs that Raccoon grandpa said from among the herbs that were piled up.

– Wukii! Wukii!

I didn’t even ask for it, but Guide Totara called his friends and instructed them to find the herbs I needed.

It was not easy to find because so many herbs were tangled, but with the help of Guide Totara and his friends, I was able to find the ingredients I needed quickly.

The herbs found in that way were immediately handed to Raccoon grandpa.

He grumbled and skillfully produced the antidote, saying that he had no proper tools.

He mixed together the herbs chopped with daggers and rolled them in a round shape to make it complete!

“Wow. The recipe is very simple”

“Originally, it needs to be purified and extracted to produce proper medicinal effects. We don’t have any equipment now, so we have to make it like this temporarily. Ah! Still, this will work much better than that rootless, ignorant treatment.”

The antidote created by Raccoon grandpa was immediately passed on to the poisoned Totaras.

The condition of the injured, who took the antidote improved faster than expected.

Most of them felt comfortable as soon as they took the antidote, and they even started standing up after 30 minutes.

The injured Totaras came up to me and Raccoon grandpa and thanked us.

[The intimacy with the demon beast has increased]

[The target has “close feelings” for you]

[The target is feeling gratitude towards you]

Most of the Totaras who received the antidote became intimate with me, and the intimacy of many Totaras, including the Guide Totara, rose steadily.

Thanks to this, I was able to pet the cute Totaras to my heart’s content.

In particular, the Guide Totara kept hovering around me and acted cutely, perhaps because he liked my touch.

Thanks to the antidote made from Raccoon grandpa’s hard work, all the poisoned Totaras were able to wake up safely.

As a result, the wariness among the Totaras completely disappeared, instead goodwill and trust-filled in Totara’s eyes looking at me and my party.

I didn’t expect this ending, but things seemed to be going much better than I thought.

It was time for us to achieve our purpose here.

We made an agreement with the Totaras in the forest.

The agreement was simple.

Totara will find and provide the herbs in the forest, and we will make an antidote to Venom spider’s poison and they would stop frantically gathering herbs and mushrooms from the forest to prepare for battle with Venom spiders.

With the antidote that Raccoon grandpa made. there was no need for such an ignorant treatment method, and no need to collect herbs and mushrooms like crazy.

The problem of forest fairies also got resolved.

“Big fairy! Thank you very much, Pyori!”

“Haha! You’re welcome…even though I’m not a fairy.”

“If you need anything, please call us anytime, Pyori!” We’ll repay the favor, Pyori!”

The forest fairy thanked me again and again before leaving.

Raccoon grandpa also got what he wanted.

Thanks to Totaras sweeping through the forest, it was possible to get a large amount of Spirit’s breath herb in very good condition.

Looking at the Spirit’s breath we got from the Totaras, and the Hap I prepared, Raccoon grandpa moved to tears.

“I can finally achieve my lifelong goal!”

He told me with a grim look before making the cure.

“Thanks to you, I got to fulfill my lifelong wish. I’m going to pour everything into this cure.”

“Call me anytime once Adela’s cure got ready. Don’t hesitate to ask for any help if you need it.”

After hearing my words, Raccoon grandpa immediately started working on making the cure.

“Ummm…”

Adela’s closed eyes slowly opened.

She always said she had a deep sense of lethargy when she woke up, but now she didn’t feel that way.

Her eyes, fully opened, moved slowly.

The clean eyes reflected the faces of the anxious people.

“……”

“……”

Adela checked the faces of the people who gathered by the bed and slowly rose.

Usually, it was impossible without the help of others, but now she was able to do it very naturally.

Smiles bloomed on everyone’s faces looking at her.

Expectations naturally filled the room.

The emotion-filled everyone’s hearts as if they were about to burst.

“Um…ma…ma?”

Miru called her mother very carefully, Adela smiled kindly at the cat girl’s call.

It wasn’t the usual painful smile with a pale face.

It was a very natural and very warm smile, like a seed that overcame the cold winter and sprouts its head out on the arrival of warm spring.

“Miru, I have made you wait long, haven’t I?”

“Mama… Mama… Mama…”

“You don’t have to worry anymore. From now on, I will take of my precious girl.”

“Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww!”

Miru, who always held back her tears in front of her mother, burst into tears for the first time.

Even though it was such a sad cry, there was a warm smile on the lips of the people watching it.

The mature appearance of Miru was good, but it felt much more lovely to see her being childish to her mother.

Adela’s eyes, which embraced Miru, gradually got filled with tears.

She spoke in a quivering voice.

“Thank you very much, my Lord. I’ve received a debt that I can’t pay back even if I try my best all my life.”

“Nah, it’s fine. Raccoon grandpa was the one who had a hard time making the cure.”

“I heard it before I got the medicine from Uncle Raccoon. He said how difficult it was… Thank you… Thank you, my Lord.”

I just smiled awkwardly because I was embarrassed, but it wasn’t bad.

“Thank you very much, Uncle Raccoon.”

“No, I’m rather grateful. Thank you so much for hanging in there until I can repay my debts”

Raccoon grandpa shed tears and smiled brightly, something he had never shown before.

Adela replied with a smile.

Adela also thanked Reville and Lagos.

Both celebrated her recovery with warm expressions.

HUG!

Miru, who enjoyed her mother’s warmth, came to me and hugged my legs tightly.

With a warm smile, I lifted Miru up with both arms.

She had cried so much that her whole face was filled with tears.

I wiped her tears carefully using my sleeve.

She was ashamed of her messed-up face and buried it in my chest.

I asked, laughing at her cute behavior.

“Miru, are you happy now?”

-NOD.

She nodded and slowly raised her face, which was filled with a bright smile.

“Thank you, Candy uncle.”

She said, hugging my neck tightly.

“I’m going to marry Candy uncle when I grow up”

“Oh, my!”

I looked blankly at Miru’s bombshell, and Adela laughed covering her mouth with her eyes open wide.

Soon after, Reville’s voice came from my side.

“Miru, didn’t you say you’d marry me when you grew up?”

“Hehe! I’m sorry, Uncle Reville.”

“Argh… I got dumped..”

“Hahahaha!”

“Hahaha!”

Hearing the dumped Reville’s grumbling, Raccoon grandpa burst into laughter.

Then Lagos began to laugh.

The burst of laughter spread like a contagion to everyone, and for a while, everyone’s laughter continued to fill the room.In the evening, I was feeling happy while returning home from work!

Originally, it would be a happy time for all office workers, but these days, it felt even better for me.

Adela’s disease, which I thought would be a little difficult to cure, was also cured, and the complicated problems of the Estate were solved one by one and everything entered a stable phase.

Not long ago, there were many things to pay attention to other than farm work, so I never felt happy while leaving home.

But recently all the problems have been solved neatly.

Thanks to this, once again, I enjoyed the sense of achievement that only those who worked hard could feel.

Returning from the Demon world, I entered the Inferris office and greeted Ryan with a lively voice.

No… I was going to.

“Ryan! How was your day today? I had a blast… Huh?”

“Oh! You’re here, Sihyeon.”

“It’s been a while, Mr. Sihyeon.”

“I’ve been waiting.”

Normally, it would be only Ryan who waits for me in the office, but today, two more people were waiting for me.

However, the problem was, that the combination of the three was quite bizarre.

Director Lee, Angel Ashmir, and Demon Ryan were waiting for me in the Inferris Office.

What is this sinister combination?

My heart, which had been filled with the joy of leaving work just a moment ago, cooled down.

I wanted to go back to the Demon world if I could.

Ryan, who guessed what was on my mind, said with a bitter smile.

“Sihyeon, I understand what you’re thinking. But, please take a seat first. It’s something important.”

“Ummm…”

Ryan’s earnest request forced me to head to the three-person gathering.
